Comments
Comments: Due to rain the last couple of days, the trail had a few muddy and wet spots. Combined with the leaves, this made things slippery for the descent. Picked this hike from 4000-footer list on summitsmarts.com, helping my friend work thru the NH 4000-footer list. AMC hut a little bit before the peak was a nice stop to enjoy the views.
